Bitcoin, where do we land? Full analysis on current conditions.

Updated
As mentioned in my last idea found here: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/bZCusCOr-Bitcoin-Bearish-Outlook-Still-Educational-Analysis-Inside/
I detailed in my last analysis what happens if we break support, I also detailed that the 200 & 50 period moving averages on the 12 hour are beginning to converge and that the drop typically takes place prior to the Bearish cross because they are lagging, as can be seen above the drop did happen prior and the 12 hour 200 & 50 moving averages crossed later.

I also mentioned that the drop to $6,500 range would be rapid if we broke support.

It appears the bulls have lost and support has been broken, so where do we bounce and ultimately land on this drive down?

Overview & Analysis

Daily Bitstamp
snapshot

Daily above shows support at $6,612 on Bitstamp. We currently sit at BTCUSD

We will have several small bounces that will create overbought & oversold conditions as we drop rapidly and the market attempts to call the bottom. This will open up good opportunities for the scalp traders out here. At this point a drop into the support at $6,600 appears inevitable unless some serious buy support comes in that is not easily visible.

6 Hour Bitstamp
snapshot

On the 6 hour above we show heavy sell pressure on the Chaikin Money Flow but also a 9 on the Tom Demark sequential signaling a reversal point in the drop. The Demark may not apply here as support is broken and no single indicator is a god indicator. However also in favor of a small bounce here before dropping further is the Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic.

Further supporting an oversold opportunity and a potential bounce here is a slightly bullish Chaikin Money Flow divergence. The On Balance Volume indicator below however is in extreme danger, so play this bounce carefully.

Conclusion

Based on the data in front of me I see a potential slight bounce upward before continuing down to above mentioned support targets as of this writing. The risk reward is too great on the risk side to try and open up any kind of Bullish positions. However the risk reward on a low leverage short is in my parameters. Considering support was broken I do not expect anything dramatic out of the oversold conditions, the market will attempt to pull it back up into support but at this time there is nothing indicating that we will and hold. Also to be clear I am not calling $6,612 as the bottom, I am simply publishing the next major support. I will update this with more detail at a later time.
